News!

Homework - Spelling, reading and finish the questions on chapter one of Champlain and the Silent One. Remember your constructed response!

In other news....well, it's my own fault, but I could use a little help.

I began a program called class economy where kids can earn money for things like good behavior and excellent work. Good idea right? Well, each day at snack we have a different cashier and kids get to buy things for snack like gummies and pretzels and sometimes candy. I also have some pencils too. They have to work out what they can afford, how much to pay, and how much change they get.

Still good right? Except that it is costing me about 15 - 20 dollars a week to keep the merchandise flowing. Yikes! That could be up to 700 - 800 dollars for the school year!

So, I am hoping you can help - and believe me this is completely voluntary! If you happen to be out shopping and would be willing to contribute some snack items or pencils or little things that the kids might want to buy, I would really appreciate it. The program is working well, so far it has been motivating for them.

Thanks!
